  1. @Dumuzzi , thank you! Very well explained . You are very fortunate indeed to have access to this portal and these experiences. Look forward to reading more about your insights and what you are shown. Could you please say more about what brought about your kundalini awakening. Which meditative practices where you using and for how many years?
  2. @Dumuzzi a few questions, please. Which dimension or realm do Gods exist in? Assuming there is the great formless spirit that has manifested into a multi-dimensional universe, how do the Gods fit into it? Are Gods or deities co-created by the group thinking, and therefore, the lower dimensions including the 3rd dimension have multifarious Gods? How does Inanna, who also manifests as Shiva, Shakti, Durga or Tara relate to the Elohim? And is Inanna also manifest in the higher dimensions or other planets? Is there a hierarchical system within godhood?
  3. @Dumuzzi , your message from Innana is so beautiful. Thank you! Would you ask this question please - are there any special benefits to praying to (or conversing with) a God or a Goddess in contrast to praying to the formless universal spirit? Also, are you able to sense anything about people here on this thread? Would love to hear from you if you receive any info about me.
  4. @legendary , thanks for this. It is very interesting. A couple of comments: 500ug seems like a high dose especially after fasting., I thought a medium dose would be 300ug. Did you gradually build up to 500ug over time? Also, have you tried LSD while listening to music with shades on and did you find it enhanced your experience? I did recently and found it much easier to let go. The music, a psychedelic playlist, was so beautiful that I forgot to be anxious.
  5. @DevOcean, why did you break up with her? You need not have listened to your parents. Why were they so against your relationship anyway?
  6. @traveler , so was that automatic writing? Does it happen often where you speak or write words which come from another place? If they did in this instance, whoever was speaking through you could have been more helpful by giving practical advice or explained things better :).
  7. @traveler , I am trying to understand what you are saying in response to the OP, but can't. DevOcean's behaviour after taking Ayahuasca warranted hospitalisation. Surely the question that needs to be asked is whether DevOean was having a spiritual experience wherein he was failing to let go of the ego, hence the extreme behaviours, or whether he was hallucinating and truly having a psychotic breakdown. What would you say the are the defining characteristics of the two states: the gaining enlightenment state and the psychotic one. How could we distinguish between the two? @DevOcean , have you wondered about this and did you arrive at any conclusions? How were you behaving or presenting when you were taken to the hospital in Iquitos? Have you sought help from realised spiritual leaders or clairvoyants who may be able to discern what is actually going on? I have met healers (from the Pranic Healing tradition) who are also clairvoyants and who can see the state of your psychic body (the one with chakras and kundalini). They would be able to discern where the problems lie.
  8. @Arcangelo , ask you anything? Do you mean about world affairs and how things will turn out? Would you know since you are enlightened? Incidentally, how did you wake up?
  9. @Matteo , I had an Lsd trip recently. I did feel the kind of fears you experienced at the start. What changed it for me was the music I was listening to. I was lying down with shades and headphones on. It allowed me to let go, go deep within and be open to whatever came my way. I've written about the music here. Without it, I Believe my trip would have been a bad one.
  10. The music at one point appeared to represent the non-dual. I saw it as a play of harmonics - where each harmony represented the myriad expressions of life and the universe.
  11. In Yoga a straight back is essential for meditation. It supports the opening of channels for the kundalini to rise. Similarly, for pranayama (yogic breathing exercises) correct posture is considered to be vitally important.
  12. I had posted about my Dark Night of the Soul (DNOTS) experience nearly 2 years ago which took place on a first use of shrooms. I reported it here and described it thus: "Life is a kind of meaningless hell for everyone - from which there is no escape. There is no loving consciousness keeping watch over us. I am of no value, uncared for and unloved. No one, god or angels were watching over me - these were illusions that I had latched on to. Our work, interests, life styles are distractions from facing the awful truth of the hopelessness and meaninglessness of our existences. We can grasp at all these things only to mask the emptiness that is within us. Death itself is not an answer - there is no escape. It is all darkness and nothingness." Many of you kindly advised that there is solace to be found in meaninglessness. True meaninglessness is total freedom and I need to go further into this experience to discover the meaninglessness of the meaning I had assigned to it and find stillness. What occurred on my first 200 mcg acid trip was this. I began with setting intention and then listened to a psilocybin playlist with shades on. As it hit, I began to feel the pain in the world and felt that my life too was an expression of it. I wept as this was heart-rending. Along with this came the sense of my life meaning nothing - this seemed to take the form of fear. I was then shown several things; - pain was not as I perceived it. It did not matter - it was part of the universal wave-form. Waves of lines interwove into a continuous movement constantly changing and moving. - at one point the wave forms changed to harmonics, Each wave pattern represented a sound and the entire universe was a moving and weaving kaleidoscope of sound. Each sound expressed the range, beauty and perfection of all that was present. I heard these sounds and they were most pure, exquisite pieces of music. - I saw a grand spirit someone like a majestic dark-skinned Pharoah who said "You are part of us. Look at us - we are not nothing". There was an immense richness and fullness to his aspect and surroundings which represented a forest or a tribe. I think the music helped create that sense. He raised me up, figuratively speaking, and I was gathered into their richness, so to speak. The sense was one of great perfection. - this changed into the formless 'us'. The word that comes closest to describe it is 'magnificence'. Again it was communicated - Look at us, we are not 'nothing'. The Us included all - me, the universe, all life. The waves became fulsome and coloured, including all colours, moving, dipping, interweaving, changing forms. The magnificence was vast, There was an immensity, greatness and resplendence with a solemn calm as it bore witness to the universe and at the same time the universe was in it. it was truly beautiful, perfect and amazing. I emerged blessed and changed. Would so like to hear your comments.
  13. @Matt8800 , excuse me if you have already discussed this but what are your insights into covid19? What do the spirits say about it and the dismal efforts that Trump's government is making? He has gradually dismantled key organisations that were to protect Americans from a pandemic and further undermined the health system. So what's next? It appears that this virus is meant to awaken people to a new way of living. Do you agree?
  14. @James123 , how do people move on after having had experiences of such beauty or infinty? It seems to bring a backlash of sorts. I do trust the experience and think of it much of the day. I wonder how I can best integrate it into my daily life. I listen to the trip playlist to replay it in my mind and it brings tears to my eyes. I am also finding it hard to sleep. The lack of sleeplessness doesn't help, of course, and leaves me feeling even more shaken, tired and close to tears. Is this a kind of normal reaction?
  15. @James123 , yes that is exactly why I will stay with it. I need to retain the sense of what I received and experience more.
  16. @James123 , I am poor at meditation. Have tried it over the years and largely abandoned it as after a rush of enthusiasm petered out. It has been frustrating to say the least. What I want to persist with now is mantra meditation, to focus on a certain sound while breathing in and out. If I can keep this focus even for a few minutes, that would be good. The trip has given me greater resolve to pursue meditation and be less disheartened if I fail :).
  17. @James123 @Leo Gura @mandyjw Thank you for your comments. I think because I had been so fearful of the nothingness - which I think was more based on a childhood trauma where I wasn't cared for so that left the sense that I meant nothing - the aspect shown to me countered that fear. I did also experience universal love and compassion but not as prominently as the 'magnificence'. I hope to now begin meditating regularly in readiness for an even deeper experience next time. Any advice as to what kind of meditation would be most helpful would be very welcome.
  18. @Dumuzzi Have you received information from Elohim on covid19? If you already haven't posted that here, it would be great to hear from Elohim about its significance, effects and how it will end. This is surely the key concerns on everyone's minds.
  19. What people here seem to experience without great effort, seems to elude me. Ever since my teens, I've always held the belief that I will gain or experience self-realisation at some point in this life. I knew it was asking a lot given I don't have a consistent meditation practice and even forget about spiritual endeavours when other things get in the way. I was elated to discover that non-duality could be experienced through psychedelics - the goal seemed achievable. But I still fear that may not come to pass. So, my life will have been lived in vain. That would be ever so depressing. Are there others like me here? What would you feel if by your life's end you were still trying?
  20. From a news article: “Dogs pleasure to bark” is how Jaggi Vasudev aka Sadhguru implicitly refers to the Principal Bench of the Karnataka High Court which recently directed that the Isha Foundation must produce its accounts and file an affidavit explaining why it is collecting thousands of crores of rupees from the public on the claim ‘Cauvery Calling’ is a public programme, and has secured all statutory approvals." That is not all - India is witnessing mass demonstrations at present against the divisive and anti-Muslim agenda of the ruling right-wing party (BJP) - one that Sadguru sides with. Being on the right side of BJP, at the very least, smacks of opportunism and allows him to operate unchecked if collecting funds from an unsuspecting public. Every fair-minded Indian is strongly against new legislation being introduced in India that discriminates against people on account of their religion and Sadguru supports it!!
  21. @luckieluuke , yes a super slow burner. The fact you have been consistent with your practice for over 2 years is remarkable. I really shouldn't be complaining given I have no practice as such. Just sporadic bouts of meditating and fervently wishing for over 20 years.
  22. @Serotoninluv , agreed! It is self-contradictory. How can not wanting something help one achieve it ?? I think what was meant in this instance was to let go of the anxiety that is associated with the fear of not getting to your goal. That is easier said than done because it is asking you to be content with your situation. @Nahm , no I haven't done inspection work. Is that trying to assess what something actually is, including yourself? It sounds very intellectual and I imagine it could put you into a detached headspace for a while. My efforts so far have centred around different meditation techniques, such as visualisations of chakra opening with breathing techniques, mindfulness again of breath, self-enquiry - none of these lasted longer than a fortnight. I would fail to sustain the exercises, get distracted, bored and then disheartened. I admit that mindfulness (even though my mind would wander) resulted in me becoming sensitive to the flow of energies up my spine. This lasted a few months even after I stopped the practice. I could feel very pleasant and gentle currents flowing up my spine through the day. Then it stopped.
